In the first image, you provided a graph of a function labeled \( h(x) \), and in the second image, there are four possible graphs for \( h(x) \) labeled A, B, C, and D.

Here's an analysis of the graphs:

1. **Graph A**: This is a straight line that passes through the origin, with a negative slope. It looks like it represents a linear function.
2. **Graph B**: This is a straight line with a positive slope, likely representing another linear function.
3. **Graph C**: This is a parabola that opens upwards, suggesting a quadratic function of the form \( h(x) = ax^2 \) with \( a > 0 \).
4. **Graph D**: This is a parabola that opens downwards, suggesting a quadratic function of the form \( h(x) = -ax^2 \) with \( a > 0 \).

### Conclusion:
- Based on the second image (the graph options), **Graph D** has been marked or circled. If you're selecting which graph represents the function \( h(x) \), the one corresponding to **Graph D** seems to be the correct choice. This parabola opens downward, consistent with the quadratic function \( h(x) = -ax^2 \) for a negative coefficient of \( x^2 \).

Would you like further details on analyzing these graphs or their mathematical properties?

3. What are the characteristics of a linear function?
4. How can you find the vertex of a quadratic function from its graph?
5. What are the differences between linear and quadratic functions in terms of their graphs?

**Tip:** Always check the sign of the coefficient of \( x^2 \) to determine the direction in which a parabola opens (upwards if positive, downwards if negative).

Which graph represents the function h(x)?

This problem involves identifying the correct graph that represents the function h(x). The problem covers key algebraic concepts like quadratic and linear functions and is suitable for students in Grades 8-10. The selected graph is a downward-opening parabola, corresponding to a quadratic function of the form h(x) = -ax^2.
